Crave Sydney is a festival that celebrates the cultural and culinary diversity of Sydney. It is a celebration of the lifestyle and attitude that are unique to Sydney and its people! It is a celebration of their yearning for life and its joys, their indulgence and fulfilment!

The festival presents a range of events related to food – from hands on cooking classes by experts to cooking demos by internationally acclaimed chefs, from street food markets to food extravaganzas, from exciting recipes of the west to exotic fares of the east, from wine and spirits to coffee and tea, from kids’ kitchen explorations to chefs’ culinary expeditions….and so on and so forth!

However, Crave Sydney is not just about food but about a lot of fun and frolic too! One could go island hopping and explore the wonders of Shark Island, Clark Island and Goat Island! If you are game, you could participate in a football-themed breakfast on Sydney Harbour Bridge! Or you could just gobble up oodles of fun in the Night Noodle Market!

For the ones who enjoy the finer things in life, Sydney Harbour is the place to head for! Enjoy a stylish lunch on Magistic Cruises and be fascinated by the amazing views of the harbour! Or board a sophisticated dinner cruise and fall under the spell of the glittering harbour lights! Give in to the seafood sensations that are special to Sydney!

Music and magic, food and fun – could you think of a more heady combination? You can enjoy all of this along with some scintillating live cabaret on Sydney Showboat while you cruise past the spectacular views of the harbour!

As one of the most exceptional events of Crave Sydney, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, one of the world’s most famous and one of the world’s most easily recognized icons, will become a picnic location for about 6,000 people from around Sydney and even far away. This event, a declaration of the amazing attitude and lifestyle of Sydney and its people, happens on October 25, Sunday. Multitudes of fun-loving people, in an expression of celebration of life, will pack loads of yummy delights into their picnic baskets, fold their rugs under their arms and pick whatever they can to add to their fun and go on a picnic to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. They will share their food, their happiness, fun and laughter and do everything else that folks enjoy doing on a picnic such as just lying back and relaxing, or perhaps reading a book or playing a few games with others on the bridge, and they will enjoy the exhilaration and feel proud of being part of the incredible event.

The sad news is that the organisers have announced the registrations to have now closed. If you have registered and if you are lucky to be chosen as one of the 6,000 participants of the event, you will be notified of it by October 12, 2009. The happy news is that the fun doesn’t have to end with the breakfast. You can carry the excitement further with a lunch cruise or a dinner cruise around the Sydney Harbour, or a cruise on one of the spectacular showboats for a whole package of food, fun and entertainment!
